The Probability of One in Tens of Thousands Applies to Others

Jiang Xia stopped in front of the Coconut Conch.

The fisherman saw Jiang Xia stop and immediately said, "A'Lei's wife, do you want to buy it? If you do, I'll sell it to you for fifty yuan."

The fisherman beside him immediately said, "Fifty yuan? Zhou Guiquan, are you ripping off A'Lei's wife? You dare ask fifty yuan? Even twenty yuan would be too much!"

"Zhou Guiquan, that's dishonest! You're cheating Xiao Xia! If this thing is opened up and sold for meat, it'll only fetch a yuan or a bit more! It isn't even worth ten yuan!"

Honestly, that was going too far!

Zhou Guiquan said, "My Coconut Conch looks very old, so there's a good chance it has a pearl inside. If it produces a pearl, wouldn't I make my money back?!"

"That's true! This kind of conch can indeed produce pearls, but the odds are one in ten thousand! I've lived for thirty years and have only seen one person get a pearl from one! If you think it can produce a pearl, why don't you open it yourself?"

Someone chimed in, "Even if it produces a pearl, the pearl might not be worth fifty yuan!"

"We're all from the same brigade. How can you bear to cheat her like this?"

Jiang Xia's Food Factory had hired more than half the village women, along with quite a few male workers. Now, wherever she went, people really did speak up for her.

Zhou Guiquan glared at them. "How am I cheating anyone? If I opened it myself, I wouldn't dare guarantee that the pearl inside would be a good one. But A'Lei and his wife were famous for their good luck. They might even get a pearl worth over a thousand yuan! Wouldn't that make their money back?
